CYCLOALKYLPYRROLE-3-CARBOXYLIC ACID DERIVATIVES AND HETEROCYCLOALKYLPYRROLE-3-CARBOXYLIC ACID DERIVATIVES AS GABA-A RECEPTOR LIGANDS

摘要

This invention relates to cycloalkylpyrolle-3-carboxylic acid derivatives and heterocycloalkylpyrrole-3-carboxylic acid derivatives that bind with high selectively and/or high affinity to the benzodiazepine site of GABAA receptors. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and to the use of such compounds in the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases. This invention also relates to the use of these cycloalkylpyrolle-3-carboxylic acid derivatives and heterocycloalkylpyrrole-3-carboxylic acid derivatives in combination with one or more other CNS agents to potentiate the effects of the other CNS agents. Additionally this invention relates to the use such compounds as probes for the detection of GABAA receptors in tissue samples.
